Comment 2 for bug 385451

Any update on this yet? I have this exact issue with Synaptics touchpad. I can confirm the synaptics driver is loaded and synclient -l shows VertEdgeScroll=1. If I change the value of RightEdge=5192 to RightEdge=5300, the vertical scrolling works again for a short (less than 1 minute) while.

This issue combined with the disabled tap-clicking (by design from what I infer) makes for a much less usefull touchpad experience.
